Birthday Surprise for Obi

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:38:00 +0000

On 18 Jan 2009, we brought a birthday surprise gift for Obi whose birthday falls just a few days earlier.

All 3 of us went over before going for my walk. And Obi's sense of smell is so strong, he couldn't stop trying to grab the present from Wanzi & his owner's hands... Here's the goodies:

PS: Wanzi & Liam bought an exact same one for me recently on 05 Jun 09.

My walk to East Coast Park

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:46:00 +0000

As usual, Liam & Wanzi brought me out this weekend to East Coast Park. It's the first weekend of 2009, first trip to East Coast Park of the year! Same place yet again, but no complains from me! (^_^)v

Now that Liam has started working in Dec last year, i've been getting lesser walks. In the past, i get to walk almost daily except during raining days. Now, i get to be walked at least once a week. Only *period*. So i must treasure my walks and sniff as much as possible! <--- One of my new year resolutions! Hah! On our way to the park, a sign that was supposed to show "No Riding. Fine: $1000" for offenders who rode on the overhead bridge.
Here's a picture of me crossing the overhead bridge. Those cars zooming on the highway below looked like toy cars~

Tugging Liam to be faster as i picked up a scent right in front, to the left!

Taking a break at the fountain area. Couldn't take my eyes off that ice-cream that Wanzi is enjoying!
On our way home, but but but, i AM still very energetic!

Liam: 3 furry cats looked at Mino, from the moment we were in sight. Their eyes following us around, so cute!

Wanzi: 3 cute cats were looking @ Mino. So we decided to take a picture of Mino and the cats, but they have decided to ignore us. All looked away~ (T_T)

New Year's Eve & Happy New Year's Day~!

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 18:21:00 +0000

Hi furry pals~

Happy New Year to you!
How did you spent your NYE? Liam's friends came over to our place and... ...

Wanzi brought me out for an hour's walk whilst Liam had to be at home as his friends were coming over!
So many guests came and I AM the star of attention... Plus, endless playing and "FOOD IS EVERYWHERE". The only obstacle is getting it from them~ *heehee*

Wanzi: Little Mino got soooooo excited as she was getting attention from everyone~ kept barking and barking... ran around the house, jumping sofa to sofa, bit us when she played a little too rough. And even got herself punished by Liam for being so disobedient. Poor Mino... I'm sure the 5 mins punishment felt sooooo long. She just showed everyone her pity look... Awwwww

Mino: After counting down to New Year's Day, Liam opened up a NEW TOY for me! YEAH!!!!!
Here's my cute picture while waiting for Liam to open the toy~

At that very moment when Liam got the toy opened, my attention was on his friends who were eating~ he called for me and with no reaction after several calls, he placed it on the floor... FINALLY after a few secs later, i grabbed the toy and turned on the "Do not disturb" mode~

Liam: She was really distracted that day, usually she would try to snatch the toy from me while i was getting it out and the moment i got it opened. This time round, i HAD to get her attention~ *LoL*

Mino: Here's a snapshot of me chewing the toy~

Wanzi: As usual, Mino's routine is to grab the toy, go to a corner or a spot and start playing the toy by herself. "Do not disturb" mode turned on as no matter how we try to get her attention, she would ignore us... ... unless there's FOOD! After she played enough, she will bring her new toy to you.... asking us to play with her! *CUTE*

Here's a blur picture of Liam and Mino playing tug with the new toy. Try spotting them and the toy! (^_^)v

It's a BEAGLE day~

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 08:26:00 +0000

Hi everybody~
It's Mino posting today. Liam and Wanzi brought me out as usual, long walks on the weekends.

First stop was at my fellow beagle friend (whom they called him my boyfriend) Obi's place for a gathering~
Mino calling Obi out to play~

Greetings and sniffing each other out! Obi smells so nice as he had cologne on

Liam with Obi striking a handsome post for Wanzi to snap good pictures...

Obi checking out his neighbour's dogs. Look at his high jump~!

After bidding goodbye to Obi, we headed out for our walk! Mino "on her hunting mode"

After Obi posted a handsome post for Wanzi, here comes Mino with the cute post! (^_^)b

Met a 4 year old female beagle during the walk. Very well-behave~

Taking a snapshot of the two beagles~

A satisfying hour long walk for me~! Usually, i won't let them go home until i have walked and sniffed enough...

Wanzi: Just when you thought she may be tired~ WRONG! She got excited and soooo happy and she jumped from sofa to sofa~ ran around the coffee table~ (*Sorry no pics cos it's all blurred ones*) Heehee... I'm too fast for my humans! Woohoo!

Annual Vaccination

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 17:33:00 +0000

taddda...nap time!!! sorry doc u have to wait.....
fell asleep waiting for her turn...surprised the injection was like less than 1 sec..anyway was told by the doc she may get feverish and lethargic after the vaccination...and after a few hours, i think the jab caused her hind leg to be sore or sth as she became "moodified" and cranky the whole afternoon....

Mino's PAP (play and play)

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:58:00 +0000

(woo i m a dancer.....)

(tracking time!)

(my fav colour)

(this is game is called 'dong dong cheng' or chinese lion dance....i try not to play this with her cos the blanket is for her to sleep on and she gets a bit uncontrollable after this game...)

(Liam: the answer to combat hardcore chewers!!!deflatable balls....so far so good just that squeaking sound sometimes dampens because of dog drool....)

(RIP...rope...)

Still energetic after an hour's long walk

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:54:00 +0000

Mino: Today, i had an hour plus long walk. Liam & Wanzi brought me to a pet store, bought me treats + new toy + jeans jumper!!

But the naughty & excited me couldn't wait to get home and eat my new treats!!! I just tugged my way home! Woof woof!

Wanzi: Little Mino was still super energetic after the walk... she went into one of the rooms and started on her "hunting & sniffing" mode. Busy going through each and every corner of the room, even the bag of rubbish was also not spared...

Wanzi: Liam was working on to frame his precious Manchester United picture of many many many years ago. While he turned to get something, Mino who was sniffing around nearby, (most probably waiting patiently for the chance)... turned around and reached out for it!
Liam: NOooOooOO! CannoOooOooT!!!!
p.s.: We try not to tell her "No!", rather we try to use the word "Cannot". In case she thinks we are calling her when we say "No!"

Liam: After the failed attempt, she continued her sniffing adventure... attempting to appreciate the wines~
Mino: So boring! Nothing to bite~! Nothing to chew~! Nothing to eat~!
Liam & Wanzi: The truth is... she got tired from all the hunting and sniffing, she took a quick rest... before continuing round 2.

Man United Fan (Part 3)

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:30:00 +0000

Liam got up at 4am to watch a Man United match against Celtic on 6/11/08. Guess what?!
Little Mino got up too... Liam let her out of her bed, for her to walk around. Instead she went over to him, snuggled beside and watched with him~
So sweet of her! Unfortunately, the match drew at 1-1.

Liam: Nope, she wasn't wearing her Man United jersey~ Lol!
Watching the match...

Having fun at Obi's

Wanzi's trip to Taiwan

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 05:45:00 +0000

Wanzi was away for a week, she went to Taipei (P.s: for her Arashi, she flew to Taipei!!! Gosh!). Sadly, she didn't bring me along (Else, i would have told Nino that "I'm Mino"!).
She misses me sooo much and showed my photos to her friends during her gatherings. They all agreed that i'm too cute! (Arghz, she told them i can be a monster sometimes) T_T

Thankfully, i got presents from her too! That's the first thing she bought in Taipei! Furthermore, she had to buy these toys! The beagle on the tag reminds her of me... Do we really look alike?That's me with a bit of Liam in the picture!
Here's the beagle on the toy's tag!

Fyi, i'm gonna make the humans lose count on my toys. They keep records of my destruction history! Bad humans! See my toy pics here: http://minomybeagle.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-playtime-minos-toys-aka-to-destroy.html <--- Btw, i'm proud of my toys collection! (^_^)v Here's some pics of puppies from the shop where she bought my toys~!

Beagle puppies

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 07:02:00 +0000

On 26/10/08, Liam & Wanzi went to Pet Safari @ Simei to see the mini beagle puppies. They adopted me when i was turning one and all they have is one little pic of me while i was younger...

Imagine 2 grown ups, squatting by the glass panel... going "goo goo gaa gaa" over the 2 beagles puppies... "Awww so cute etc"... I'm so jealous obviously!

See, i AM very cute too!

Dear furry pals...
Care to share some of your puppies pics with me? I wanna see!! Heehee...

Liam & Wanzi: Hey Mino! That's because we've never seen a real beagle puppy with our very own eyes, nor held it in our hands before... we can't help thinking how is Mino like when she was younger? Is she a terrorist like she is now?! Oops! Kidding~

Let Mino catch a wink please!!

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 06:06:00 +0000

Time for Mino's nap~! She slept between the sofas... and i caught her catching a wink! Ain't she adorable!!! (^_^)b After her dinner that day, Wanzi allowed her "occasional roams" beyond the living and dining room... she ran straight to Liam's brother room (Batman)... and she pee-ed on Batman's bed shortly after! This is the 2nd time it happened... the first time was during the week Wanzi was away in Taiwan!

Wanzi's conclusion: Mino is being nice, she wanted to teach Batman to slp at the correct time, like her. So the solution was... ... ... the rest is history!

Shower Time 2

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 08:20:00 +0000

Lol i just gotta post these pictures... she doesnt seem to struggle at all when bathing... even during drying when i put her on a stool to blow dry her using a hairdryer, she would calmly be in a sit position while i comb n dry her... but she still doesnt like the sea....

In conjunction with World Animal Day, SPCA organised this Paws at the Beach event to create public awareness against responsible pet ownership. Event was held at East Coast Park on 5 Oct. Luckily the morning rain stopped and we were able to walk to ECP.

Mino's toy box

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 18:31:00 +0000

Here's Mino's toy box as of 2008-09-20. We bought a new toy for her today. Guess which one?

Wanzi: She was barking for a toy to play with.

Mino choosing her toy, sniffing through almost every toy in it.

Finally, she has decided. Coincidentally, that's the new toy we bought her today. Unfortunately, we've opened the donut toy today, so we saved it for another time!

Mino: It's alright. I'll destroyed the donut and play with my new toys!!! =p

Wanzi: Fyi, donut toy destroyed in less than 5 mins. Liam's maid mended the "hole" (see link below for pic) and least it lasted... a few more days.

Supper @ Chai Chee & HK Cafe

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:09:00 +0000

2008-09-17

Liam & Wanzi brought me out for supper. My first late night outing, by the time i got home... it was already 12.45am.

They went to eat 'Chai Chee Bah Chor Mee', I had ice treats *doggyliciously cold* from them.

It's alright that no one gave me anything to eat. I found a fish cake on the floor myself. Eyeing it... but no matter how i tried (See i was perched 45degrees forward), the stupid leash had me near Liam. Fish cake got cleared shortly after. *Sobs*

I tried my last bit of effort to lick anything off the table, ended up with nothing plus entangled with my own leash. *whine*

Mino and Batman

noreply@blogger.com (Mino) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:14:00 +0000

Liam: I m going to tell u all a very big secret. Batman is not Bruce Wayne!! Batman is my brother. I came to this conclusion because he wakes up only in the night, comes home in the morning and sleeps thruout the day. must be all the crime fightin in the night. in a bid to wake 'batman' to eat his dinner, i sent sidekick mino on a secret mission to wake batman from his batcave.
